Guwahati: A storm of criticism has erupted after the Assam unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released an Islamophobic, AI-generated video on its official social media platform.<\/p>\nGuwahati: A storm of criticism has erupted after the Assam unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released an Islamophobic, AI-generated video on its official social media platform.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the video, which depicts members of the Muslim community, taking over government land and public spaces, has been condemned widely by citizens, journalists and activists.<\/p>\n
The video, titled \u201cAssam Without BJP\u201d, shows Muslims occupying Guwahati airport, Rangghar, stadiums, and several towns in exaggerated numbers. It also includes imagery linking Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with a Pakistani official, implicitly connecting the political party to Pakistan.<\/p>\n
Hyderabad parliamentarian and chief of the All India Majlis Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Asaduddin Owaisi criticised the video accusing the BJP of harbouring the aim of a Muslim-free India.<\/p>\n
Taking to X, Owaisi said, \u201cBJP Assam has posted a disgusting AI video that shows a Muslim-majority Assam if there was no BJP. They are not fear-mongering just for votes, this is the repulsive Hindutva ideology in true form. The very existence of Muslims in India is a problem for them, their dream is a Muslim-muktbharat. Besides this constant whining, they\u2019ve no vision for India.\u201d<\/p>\n
Journalist and social activist Farhan Ahmed said: \u201cThis video is an attempt to spread hatred and fear against our Muslim brothers and sisters,\u201d \u201cIt is deeply troubling that a political party would use such divisive tactics to target a community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The post sparked an immediate backlash online, with many social media users, including BJP supporters, criticising the party for what they called a \u201cdespicable act.\u201d Some pointed out that the video seems designed to disrupt communal harmony and incite prejudice against Muslims.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is exactly why people fear communal politics,\u201d commented resident Saima Begum from Guwahati. \u201cWe live in a diverse society, and it is irresponsible to portray Muslims as occupiers of public spaces. It spreads hate and mistrust.\u201d<\/p>\n
Similar instances have occurred in other states. The BJP\u2019s Jharkhand unit previously released a video showing Muslims allegedly occupying private homes, leading to accusations that the party is using Islamophobia to gain political advantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
